A twisty-whiskered rat, a glorious pile of potatoes, and a cautionary tale about greed-with plenty of rhyme and charm.
Zachary is a treat-loving rat who lives under a bakery. Each night, he nabs a single sweet, never too greedy, until...
One night he saw a sack that made his eyes pop. Inside were potatoes from bottom to top.
Unable to resist, Zachary takes more and more-without sharing a single bite. His chums warn him, but he ignores them... until the baker notices his stash has vanished, and everything goes hilariously downhill.
Zachary and the Great Potato Catastrophe is a funny rhyming picture book for kids ages 3-8-perfect for giggly read-alouds, classroom storytime, and anyone who has ever sneakily hidden a snack.
From multi-award-winning author Junia Wonders and Italian illustrator Giulia Lombardo comes a deliciously silly tale for families who love a big helping of mischief, a side of potatoes and a sweet lesson about sharing.
This story teaches kids two things: greed doesn't pay, and sharing and friendship are far more important in life. -Readers' Favorite
